Visión general

Mayer Brown is a leader in developing innovative approaches to pro bono work. We were the first major law firm to develop and implement a pro bono strategic plan, and we strive to pioneer projects that will have a substantial impact, both locally and globally. We believe that pro bono work is a critical component of our profession and an important factor in establishing our true excellence as a law firm. We have a responsibility to assist the disadvantaged, to help build a more inclusive society and to help provide equal access to justice. These are the guiding tenets of our pro bono program.
